...what is the quickest way to calculate position of the summer load waterline? Any software or excel file available?

Thanks :o)

change the density water ,for sample atlantic sea water at 20 deg desentity is 1023 kg/m3 and at 30 deg density is 1020 kg/m3

...density allowances are one of many allowances and corrections that needs to be taken care of to calculate final position of the summer load waterline. I was looking for some software that could speed up the calculation a bit...why I need this ? Lloyd's, for example, based it's rule lenght on summer load waterline , and scantling calculations are directly dependent...vicious circle :)

I bet a spreadsheet would be a useful tool in this. Do all your formulas at once referencing one or more cells with the variable(s) in them.
